Content#

RadioGroup accepts multiple Radio elements as children. Each Radio represents an option that can be selected, labeled by its children.

Note: A Radio cannot be used outside of a RadioGroup.

Value#

RadioGroup only allows single selection. An initial, uncontrolled value can be provided to the RadioGroup using the defaultValue prop. Alternatively, a controlled value can be provided using the value prop.

function Example() {
  let [selected, setSelected] = React.useState('yes');

  return (
    <Flex gap="size-300">
      <RadioGroup label="Are you a wizard? (uncontrolled)" defaultValue="yes">
        <Radio value="yes">Yes</Radio>
        <Radio value="no">No</Radio>
      </RadioGroup>

      <RadioGroup
        label="Are you a wizard? (controlled)"
        value={selected}
        onChange={setSelected}
      >
        <Radio value="yes">Yes</Radio>
        <Radio value="no">No</Radio>
      </RadioGroup>
    </Flex>
  );
}

function Example() {
  let [selected, setSelected] = React.useState('yes');

  return (
    <Flex gap="size-300">
      <RadioGroup
        label="Are you a wizard? (uncontrolled)"
        defaultValue="yes"
      >
        <Radio value="yes">Yes</Radio>
        <Radio value="no">No</Radio>
      </RadioGroup>

      <RadioGroup
        label="Are you a wizard? (controlled)"
        value={selected}
        onChange={setSelected}
      >
        <Radio value="yes">Yes</Radio>
        <Radio value="no">No</Radio>
      </RadioGroup>
    </Flex>
  );
}

function Example() {
  let [
    selected,
    setSelected
  ] = React.useState(
    'yes'
  );

  return (
    <Flex gap="size-300">
      <RadioGroup
        label="Are you a wizard? (uncontrolled)"
        defaultValue="yes"
      >
        <Radio value="yes">
          Yes
        </Radio>
        <Radio value="no">
          No
        </Radio>
      </RadioGroup>

      <RadioGroup
        label="Are you a wizard? (controlled)"
        value={selected}
        onChange={setSelected}
      >
        <Radio value="yes">
          Yes
        </Radio>
        <Radio value="no">
          No
        </Radio>
      </RadioGroup>
    </Flex>
  );
}

HTML forms#

RadioGroup supports the name prop, paired with the Radio value prop, for integration with HTML forms.

<RadioGroup label="Favorite pet" name="pet">
  <Radio value="dogs">Dogs</Radio>
  <Radio value="cats">Cats</Radio>
</RadioGroup>

<RadioGroup label="Favorite pet" name="pet">
  <Radio value="dogs">Dogs</Radio>
  <Radio value="cats">Cats</Radio>
</RadioGroup>

<RadioGroup
  label="Favorite pet"
  name="pet"
>
  <Radio value="dogs">
    Dogs
  </Radio>
  <Radio value="cats">
    Cats
  </Radio>
</RadioGroup>

Labeling#

A visual label should be provided for the RadioGroup using the label prop. If the RadioGroup is required, the isRequired and necessityIndicator props can be used to show a required state.

<Flex gap="size-300" wrap>
  <RadioGroup label="Favorite avatar">
    <Radio value="wizard">Wizard</Radio>
    <Radio value="dragon">Dragon</Radio>
  </RadioGroup>

  <RadioGroup label="Favorite avatar" isRequired necessityIndicator="icon">
    <Radio value="wizard">Wizard</Radio>
    <Radio value="dragon">Dragon</Radio>
  </RadioGroup>

  <RadioGroup label="Favorite avatar" isRequired necessityIndicator="label">

    <Radio value="wizard">
      Wizard
    </Radio>
    <Radio value="dragon">
      Dragon
    </Radio>
  </RadioGroup>
</Flex>

Accessibility#

If a visible label isn't specified for a RadioGroup, an aria-label must be provided for accessibility. If the field is labeled by a separate element, an aria-labelledby prop must be provided using the id of the labeling element instead.

Radio elements should always have a visible label.

Internationalization#

To internationalize a RadioGroup, a localized string should be passed to the label prop and as the child content of the Radio elements. For languages that are read right-to-left (e.g. Hebrew and Arabic), the Radio is automatically placed on the right side of the text. When the necessityIndicator prop is set to "label", a localized string will be provided for "(required)" or "(optional)" automatically.

Events#

RadioGroup accepts an onChange prop, which is triggered when a user changes the selected value. The example below uses onChange to log how the user is interacting with the component.

function Example() {
  let [selected, setSelected] = React.useState('');

  return (
    <>
      <RadioGroup
        label="Favorite avatar"
        value={selected}
        onChange={setSelected}
      >
        <Radio value="wizard">Wizard</Radio>
        <Radio value="dragon">Dragon</Radio>
      </RadioGroup>
      <div>You have selected: {selected}</div>
    </>
  );
}

function Example() {
  let [selected, setSelected] = React.useState('');

  return (
    <>
      <RadioGroup
        label="Favorite avatar"
        value={selected}
        onChange={setSelected}
      >
        <Radio value="wizard">Wizard</Radio>
        <Radio value="dragon">Dragon</Radio>
      </RadioGroup>
      <div>You have selected: {selected}</div>
    </>
  );
}

function Example() {
  let [
    selected,
    setSelected
  ] = React.useState('');

  return (
    <>
      <RadioGroup
        label="Favorite avatar"
        value={selected}
        onChange={setSelected}
      >
        <Radio value="wizard">
          Wizard
        </Radio>
        <Radio value="dragon">
          Dragon
        </Radio>
      </RadioGroup>
      <div>
        You have
        selected:{' '}
        {selected}
      </div>
    </>
  );
}

Validation#

RadioGroup supports the isRequired prop to ensure the user selects an option, as well as custom client and server-side validation. It can also be integrated with other form libraries. See the Forms guide to learn more.

When the Form component has the validationBehavior="native" prop, validation errors block form submission and are displayed as help text automatically.

import {Form, ButtonGroup, Button} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

<Form validationBehavior="native">
  <RadioGroup label="Favorite pet" name="pet" isRequired>    <Radio value="dogs">Dog</Radio>
    <Radio value="cats">Cat</Radio>
    <Radio value="dragon">Dragon</Radio>
  </RadioGroup>
  <ButtonGroup>
    <Button type="submit" variant="primary">Submit</Button>
    <Button type="reset" variant="secondary">Reset</Button>
  </ButtonGroup>
</Form>

import {
  Button,
  ButtonGroup,
  Form
} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

<Form validationBehavior="native">
  <RadioGroup label="Favorite pet" name="pet" isRequired>    <Radio value="dogs">Dog</Radio>
    <Radio value="cats">Cat</Radio>
    <Radio value="dragon">Dragon</Radio>
  </RadioGroup>
  <ButtonGroup>
    <Button type="submit" variant="primary">
      Submit
    </Button>
    <Button type="reset" variant="secondary">
      Reset
    </Button>
  </ButtonGroup>
</Form>

import {
  Button,
  ButtonGroup,
  Form
} from '@adobe/react-spectrum';

<Form validationBehavior="native">
  <RadioGroup
    label="Favorite pet"
    name="pet"
    isRequired
  >    <Radio value="dogs">
      Dog
    </Radio>
    <Radio value="cats">
      Cat
    </Radio>
    <Radio value="dragon">
      Dragon
    </Radio>
  </RadioGroup>
  <ButtonGroup>
    <Button
      type="submit"
      variant="primary"
    >
      Submit
    </Button>
    <Button
      type="reset"
      variant="secondary"
    >
      Reset
    </Button>
  </ButtonGroup>
</Form>

By default, RadioGroup displays default validation messages provided by the browser. See Customizing error messages in the Forms guide to learn how to provide your own custom errors.

Visual options#

Orientation#

RadioGroups are vertically oriented by default. The orientation prop can be used to change the orientation to horizontal.

<RadioGroup label="Favorite avatar" orientation="horizontal">
  <Radio value="wizard">Wizard</Radio>
  <Radio value="dragon">Dragon</Radio>
</RadioGroup>

<RadioGroup
  label="Favorite avatar"
  orientation="horizontal"
>
  <Radio value="wizard">Wizard</Radio>
  <Radio value="dragon">Dragon</Radio>
</RadioGroup>

<RadioGroup
  label="Favorite avatar"
  orientation="horizontal"
>
  <Radio value="wizard">
    Wizard
  </Radio>
  <Radio value="dragon">
    Dragon
  </Radio>
</RadioGroup>

Label position and alignment#

View guidelines

By default, the label is positioned above the RadioGroup. The labelPosition prop can be used to position the label to the side. The labelAlign prop can be used to align the label as "start" or "end". For left-to-right (LTR) languages, "start" refers to the left most edge of the RadioGroup and "end" refers to the right most edge. For right-to-left (RTL) languages, this is flipped.

<RadioGroup label="Favorite avatar" labelPosition="side" labelAlign="end">
  <Radio value="wizard">Wizard</Radio>
  <Radio value="dragon">Dragon</Radio>
</RadioGroup>

Help text#

View guidelines

Both a description and an error message can be supplied to a RadioGroup. The description is always visible unless isInvalid is true and an error message is provided. The error message can be used to help the user fix their input quickly and should be specific to the detected error. All strings should be localized.

function Example() {
  let [selected, setSelected] = React.useState('dogs');
  let isValid = selected === 'dogs';

  return (
    <RadioGroup
      aria-label="Favorite pet"
      onChange={setSelected}
      isInvalid={!isValid}
      description="Please select a pet."
      errorMessage={
        selected === 'cats'
          ? 'No cats allowed.'
          : 'Please select dogs.'
      }>

The isReadOnly prop makes the selection immutable. Unlike isDisabled, the RadioGroup remains focusable. See the MDN docs for more information.
